The German will be keen to get the problem solved and move on as quickly as possible.

Juninho Bacuna is no flash in the pan

The Dutch midfielder showed his versatility when he came on at right back in the win against Wolves on Tuesday and he excelled in the position again at Brighton.

The 21-year-old possesses a rare mix of quality and tenacity. Against Brighton he tackled superbly to deny Glenn Murray a one on one with Jonas Lossl and later in the match drew a fine save from the Seagulls goalkeeper Mathew Ryan to go with a series of dangerous crosses he delivered throughout the game.

Siewert moved him back in to midfield late in the second half and clearly sees him as an important player now.

Jan Siewert is a fierce competitor

Town's head coach could have spoken to the media after the Brighton game about how his side battled well against a very good Brighton side or how they were perhaps unlucky not to score in the first half.

Siewert mentioned both those points but his answers kept coming back to one thing: "We lost because of a free kick and this makes me very angry."

The German was furious that his players allowed their good work to be undone by a lapse in concentration at a set piece.

It won't matter to Siewert if and when Town are mathematically relegated - he will demand everything from his players to try to win each game.

Jonas Lossl is in fine form once again

The Danish international goalkeeper spent some time on the sidelines earlier in the season with Ben Hamer temporarily laying claim to the number one jersey.

There is not debate about who Town's best goalkeeper is now though - and that isn't a slight on Hamer.

Lossl has been fantastic in the last few games and he showed his class again on Saturday.

His highlight had to be a stunning diving save to his right to deny Brighton's Andone - and there was nothing he could do about the striker's winning header.

Karlan Grant is still learning at this level

The 21-year-old has been electric in his first few games for Town, scoring against Arsenal and lighting the John Smith's Stadium up against Wolves for his first Premier League start.

Here though, on a day when Town found it difficult to build attacks, he was almost absent.

It is a lot tougher for a forward to make an impact away from home in the Premier League and the Brighton game will be a learning curve for Grant.

In fairness to the player who signed in January from League One Charlton Athletic, his strike partner Steve Mounie, who has been playing in the Premier League for almost two years now, found the game nearly as difficult.
